Every now and then, while picking up trash in the front
yard, I find a pack of cigarettes, almost full. I do a quick scan of my limited
Biblical knowledge to remember if Revelation mentions anything about a plague
of Pall Mall’s, but I know what really happened here. I live on a busy highway,
which means my yard is the receptacle for the garbage our mouth-breathing
motorists believe simply vanishes from existence when they toss it out of the
window. And sometimes, among the Burger King and Trojan brand refuse, there is
a fresh pack of smokes. This indicates that someone just “quit smoking.”

Who's Responsible for This?!

is an illustrator and opinionated crank living in the bygone century known as South Carolina. His wide variety of neurotic quirks and extreme sensitivity to broad social trends are chronicled as The Symptoms, a continuing blog of sophisticated tantrums. Ashley's work has appeared in many defunct publications and hard-to-sell books. He is considered a complete failure by those envious of his genius. He has a website for some reason: www.ashleyholt.com
